Once upon a time some folk from BM travelled upto Keswick, 12 of them secured a place in the barn and the rest had to pitch tents outside. The pub was 300 yards away so we had to go and annoy the locals both nights :) We also held the very first (and ony) BM Monkey Olympics whilst there !!!

Just wondered whether folk would be u for it again.

Check out Dinah Hoggus Camping Barn and let me know what you think :)

Is it better in the "Barn" or in your own tent ?

Last time I made the mistake of taking my tent. It were f f freezing in March last year, and I also forgot my mattress! But we had a grand time, and I would go again, but when summer arrives!

OOOOooo as Standard Monkey Throwing Ladies Winner 2010, I'm deffo up for this again Clarkee - as XK said, it was mid March & it was effin' freezing. However in the 'barn' we were all snugged up...litterally all snugged up - there was no room to walk cos of bodies everywhere!! But it was warm - those in the tents had to crack the frost off them when they got up in the am Cracking do though

LMAO , that was after we decided to stay over

But your right it was a larf, roughing it in that bed, with a shower & hot water was the worse thing tho

Best bloomin thing I ever did plucking up courage to turn up on my own as a bm virgin to excuse for a party in the barn...what a fabby weekend and the rest is history I was ever so snug...mind you turned up in the car with double air-bed, Kingsize tog 15 duvet, 2 sleeping bags & 2 hot water bottles I'd never encountered ice glittering away like a little grotto in the torchlight on the INSIDE of the tent before

Yes was a brilliant weekend, we were in a tent but didn't freeze BECAUSE I was fully dressed and kept my cold killers on !!!!!! If Daryl goes again can we put a time limit on how long he is allowed to hog the shower room ( as it had the loo in it )
